Problems of treating the injured persons with femoral neck fractures (A review of literature)

Abstract

The authors analyzed the scientific publications related to the problems of treating the injured persons with femoral neck fractures. The main part of the sources in the literature was published within the last 10 years. As it has been revealed, despite the availability of many different surgical methods, as well as a wide range of implants, the incidence of unsatisfactory outcomes of treatment remains very significant. As it follows from the literature, there is no consensus on optimal means of fixation, indications for osteosynthesis and arthroplasty, the timing of surgery performing, rehabilitation principles up to date. Therefore, the search of new solutions in the problem of treating patients with femoral neck fractures, as well as the development of new efficient devices for reposition and fixation of bone fragments which reduce treatment time and improve treatment effectiveness is relevant.
